CAVEAT
• It should be noted that all services and
pricing discussed today have not been
evaluated, commented on, and finalized
by Internet2’s advisory councils.
• This will occur once service models and
pricing structures have been finalized
following input from the community.

Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006
Steve Cotter
Internet2 Network Services
Internet2 Network Observatory
• Our ability to access the Infinera equipment,
with its unique performance monitoring
capabilities (dense OEO), will provide a rich
set of data for network researchers –
extending the Abilene Observatory onto the
new Network
• Subgroup has been formed to create a goals
document for performance monitoring at
multiple levels
• Looking to form a Working Group
13
Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006
Steve Cotter
Internet2 National Content Exchange Fabric
• Recently approved changes to Abilene CoU
allow us to immediately begin exploring the
creation of a national content exchange fabric
• Changes allow commodity offerings, for access to
content, and to commercial service offerings that
support research and education
• Intent is to intelligently pursue peerings with
key content providers at multiple exchange
points around the country
• Seeking the right balance between content value,
commodity savings and network costs
14
Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006
Steve Cotter
Internet2 National Content Exchange Fabric
• Steve Wallace, IU, assigned to explore
potential peering relationships with
content providers
• Discussions are already underway
• Analyzing how the different content
providers’ traffic would impact member
connections before turning on the spigots
15
Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006
Steve Cotter
Internet2 Network Services
Internet2 HealthNet
• Currently engaged in discussions with
members of the healthcare community to use
part of the Internet2 Network infrastructure as
a shared, secure network for healthcare
facilities, teaching hospitals and
pharmaceuticals to collaborate using advanced
networking technologies
• Potential for implementation of a L1VPN that
leverages GMPLS that would be part of a
collaboration between Infinera and the
community
16
Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006

Commercial Services: Commodity
• Changes to the CoU mean Internet2 could
offer high-quality IP services from Level 3 and
at least 1 other carrier at aggregated prices
• This could also be done on the new Internet2
Network
• Start with 10 GE interfaces (rate limited initially) at
a minimum of 3 locations around the country and
then add more as transit needs grow
• Tier 1 & 2 peerings could be pursued to drive down
costs
17
Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006

• Goals of Offering Settlement-free I1 Peering &
Transit
• Increase the Network’s value through expanded
connectivity
• Ensure net neutrality via direct connections to
content and service providers
• Provide researchers with realistic routing data
• Preserve Abilene-like performance and reliability
18

Commercial Services: Commodity
• Risks of Offering Settlement-free I1 Peering &
Transit
• Change of focus may equal loss of focus
• Engineering congestion-free backbone not as
simple
• May complicate routing configuration for Connector
• Likely to increase incidence of network-based
attacks over
R & E networks
• May upset local and regional ISPs
19
Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006

Commercial Services: Commodity
• Consequences
• May require more resilient connections to
the new Network (Network now becomes
part of your commodity infrastructure)
• QoS queuing mechanisms may be required
to insure that traditional performance is
maintained for R&E to R&E traffic.
• May affect connector network architecture
and design
20
Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006
Steve Cotter
Internet2 Network Services
Commercial Services: Commodity
• Design Principles
• Must be easy for connectors to opt in or out
(BGP community based?)
• Must be easy for connectors to monitor their
usage by traffic type (e.g., I2, commodity
transit, settlement-free peering, etc).
21
Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006
Steve Cotter
Internet2 Network Services
Commercial Services: VoIP
• Could provide access to commercial
VoIP services through the Internet2
Network to:
• Provide low-cost long-distance termination,
local inbound, E-911, ...
• Continue Internet2’s WG efforts on SIP.EDU
22
Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006
Steve Cotter
Internet2 Network Services
Commercial Services: VoIP
• Advantages could include:
• Ability to purchase existing services from a wider range of
providers who may not currently have a local presence;
• Ability to purchase new services that are not currently
available locally from any provider;
• A more competitive market for services that would reduce
costs relative to existing contracts ("Voice Quilt"?);
• Reductions in local and long-distance TDM access trunks;
• Converge, flatten and simplify voice and data networks:
reduce capital expenditures, management overhead;
• Level 3 will have a CALEA solution consistent with FCC
mandates implemented to by the May 2007 deadline.
23
Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006

Commercial Services: VoIP Service Models
• Voice solution needs can vary based on:
• Size of university
• Small & private vs. large & public
• Current IT and/or telecom capabilities
• Minimal system or staffing support, vs. integrated, highlysophisticated systems with large staffs
• Application & end-user needs
• Dorm vs. offices
• Students vs. faculty
24
Community Design Workshop – June 15-16, 2006
Steve Cotter
Internet2 Network Services
Commercial Services: VoIP Service Models
• There are various options, including:
• Hosted services through Level 3 reseller
(appropriate for smaller customers and
deployments)
• Through service provider enhancing / reselling
Level 3 VoIP
• Through service provider using own network (and
peering with the Internet2 Network)
• Direct integration of Level 3 VoIP with campus

Leveraging Partnerships
• Establish a framework for collaboration quarterly executive and technical staff
meetings with technology partners to freely
exchange ideas and set priorities on mutual
objectives/new services
• Level 3 will appoint a representative from the
business unit to assist the community with
taking new services from concept to production
• Welcome the inclusion of other technology
partners from industry and the community
